July 4th Adventures

Our Fourth of July was a fun filled day of adventure. It all started out with lunch at Peter's parents house and a quick birthday party for Jenalee (sister-in-law). Then we were off to the lake (Utah lake that is) for some fun in the sun and a little swimmin' (in Melly's words). Melynn loved the water, but don't worry she was able to touch the bottom and there was always somebody by her side. She loved it so much in fact that she fell asleep on my shoulder in the water, because she didn't want to get out. When it was time to get out she cried to get back in. At one point her Aunt Katie took her to shore to warm up, but she was only wrapped in her towel for a few minutes before she was pulling on her floaties to get back in. After we got home and got cleaned up Melly had found her floaties and was walking around saying, "swimmin', swimmin'" wanting to go out again. Later in the evening we went back over to do fireworks but by the time it was dark the kids were too tired to stay so we decided to do it the next day. They ended up hating it anyway. It scared them both with the sound and the crackling and brightness. Here are some picture of us at the lake.
